Our take
Without the right infrastructure, building applications and other products can be a slow and painstaking process. Render solves this problem with its unified cloud services platform.
Render was founded by Anurag Goel, one of Stripe's founding engineers. The company's developer platform allows teams to build websites and apps quickly and at scale. Render has raised impressive funding, and the capital has accelerated the development and roll-out of a number of innovative new tools and features, including a free plan for web services and databases. This will improve access to Render's platform, and help to further scale its user base.
Render's main challenge will be competing with large-scale legacy players, including the "big three": Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. However, so far Render has held its own, largely thanks to its superior flexibility, innovative modern features rolled out regularly, and competitive price. If it can maintain this, Render stands to make impressive gains in the coming years.
